Of course Crutchfield doesn’t do installs, but it’s certainly possible a DIY’er 
did this who was very meticulous.  The crimp connectors they used appeared to 
be done with a pneumatic crimper, as they were all spaced exactly the same and 
very consistent.  Wire lengths were all the same and the harness was tie 
wrapped neatly with all the wires laid out in order.  It was a thing of beauty.

Crutchfield has a hard time with harnesses for the Bose systems.  I’ve found 
they like to provide the Metra harness that has RCA jacks for the amplifier 
inputs, which rarely works well, even with a head unit that has 4.0 volt preamp 
outputs.  The other Metra harness that is just speaker wires is the best as the 
amp ends up getting driven really hard, which it needs to provide the best 
sound.
